At best it would be libel, not slander - as it was written communication, and not publicly released. However, in order for something to be libel, whatever lies exist have to be insulting, or whatever result has to be intended to insult. Neither case is true, as the report was more of a (poor)...

Yep. Both Counter-Strike and Team Fortress were both originally mods - In fact, only Half-Life, Half-Life 2, and the subsequent episodic content are the only games conceived and developed entirely by Valve. Half-Life itself was built off of a heavily modified Quake 2 engine named GoldSource.

Interesting leap in logic - unfortunately, in order for that scenario to ring true, every retailer must buy used music/movies/games. See all retailers have a policy that they will not give refunds on open media, requiring the customer to trade it for another copy of the item(s) they are trying...

Wait, I don't understand. You call yourself a nerd, yet you bought your PC, require someone else to fix it, and declare it bricked? Sorry, I don't think you meet membership requirements lol

True, but the beauty of upgrading a PC is that you don't have to start from scratch each time, and considering that a PS3 retailed for what? $500 when it came out, it's more than possible to upgrade to an adequate gaming PC for $400-$500, and that's if you have to replace everything (i.e. RAM...

Well, I realize that - and true, the games would be a difference on that end. However, as a "learning tool" for students, you'd get much more out of using a Wacom then anything Wii related. I guess it just boils down to the potential reasoning - if it's just going to be an activity for your...

Y'know I actually doubt that - since a lot of the reason for Windows success was the fact that Microsoft was selling software, and thus was independent of the hardware - as opposed to Apple putting their OS only on Macs, and selling both as one package. Chances are that another operating...

MMOs have two "addictive" elements. First, it's a very goal oriented game, and reaching those goals tend to be pretty time consuming. Second, the more friends you play with, and the closer your bond to them, the less likely you are to leave the game - not to mention leaving would invalidate...

Nothing. Now, before people think I'm some heartless soulless bastard, let me clarify. I'm worth far more alive than dead - no matter what the potential cause (i.e. loved one, country, etc), so if I die, I've failed. So no, nobody or nothing is worth dying for, but there are plenty of...

Per Wikipedia: As for where to get them now? You can try here: http://www.cdosabandonware.com/std_search.php?search=commander+keen Note: There apparently was one released for Gameboy Color, where I presume you could find an emulator and a rom for it if you really wanted to.

Not on here (yet), but from time to time on other forums etc. I've had this name for quite a while, and tend to use it (with the underscore) whenever I can - so there's the occasional overlap between communities.

Actually HL2 (and technically anything on that engine) still has the best facial expression/animation setup out there. Not exactly something for an FPS game to base itself on, but when the story is that much of a part of the game, it's pretty important for Half-Life. As another poster said...

Funny thing about economics, you can't just look at a price of one product and judge that a country "has it good" or even better, unless you take in all sorts of other information as well. Things like minimum wage, federal, state and local taxes, cost of living, fuel prices, average transit...

Super Shotgun in Doom 2

My point was that why would anybody purchase one with wii compatibility, when you could get one that your kids won't "outgrow" for the PC you probably already have? Even Wacom's bargin basement ones have more features than that Wii tablet, for about the same price.
